I'm amazed anyone has anything good to say about that place..waukegan is and always has been a horrid, rancid, waste of time. It is now as good as it ever has been.

[aradovic11]

Rancid is a good adjective.

I was born in that place in '49.......... I'll never have anything good to say about that place. It wasen't untill I was older and saw a lot of the world that I realized just how retarded that stupid place was. The world would be a much better place if waukegan would just dry up and blow away. I made up my mind in third grade that I would NEVER have children in such a place of ignorance...

@peasonerf see it happening just before I left when I was invited to be part of the Army in 1972. It happens to most industrial towns and it's part of economic geography. Towns grow outward from the industry and then die as the next town outward begins to live. Waukegan died when Johnson, Mansville, US Steel and the others became outdated and economically dead. Too bad. I really liked Waukegan. I was however, one of the people that escaped before the death of the town.

@peasonerf Waukegan had great schools, parks, pools, and plenty of tings to do at the lakefront. Most people who live there take the lake for granted until they move somewhere else where there are very few lakes (Colorado) and very little fishing available. There was plenty of entertainment venues for teens to go to to listen to music, (Wild Goose, Hangout, Sound Museum) and plenty of bars for the older music lovers to go to. I'm not sure when Waukegan went downhill, but I could - cont.
